Diffuse Optical Spectroscopy Measurement Technique is Helping Develop More Effective Diagnostic Tools and Therapeutic Regimes for Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Other Mitochondrial Diseases Some Time in the Future
There has been increasing support for our hypothesis that mitochondrial dysfunction plays an
important role in the etiology of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and the overlapping Metabolic
Syndrome.
important role in the etiology of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and the overlapping Metabolic
Syndrome.
Once the mitochondrial defect(s) of these subjects has been defined, the data will be used
to develop two non-invasive screening tools to detect mitochondrial defects in Diabetes
Mellitus and Metabolic Syndrome patients.
The device call Diffuse Optical Spectroscopy develope at Beckman Laser Instituteis is
non-invasive measurement technique, to measure the properties of the muscle tisuue and
vascular activity (calf, bicep, or the brain)to evaluate the patient's metabolic status and
and to assess muscle mitochondrial OXPHOS function.
